Silicone Hoses...Anyone interested in some?

[BIG Matt]

I've been building kits of silicone hoses for Vauxhall V6s for the last few months quite successfully and now Ihave a Golf I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a kit for a Mk2 GTi 8v (with 16v to follow)?

The silicone hoses I have been using are the same used on Bentleys and other high quality cars.  They meet ISO standards and are regarded as some of the best quality in the industry.  I can do them in a deep blue, sunshine yellow and bright red (all in high gloss finish).  They are all throughly tested and will be 100% suitable for the job.

Kit would probably consist of water, air and vacuum hoses and will probably retail for around a 1/4 of the price of any available on the market 

I'm yet to take measurements and get prices etc, just wanted to know what the interest would be like?

First batch would probably be red hoses for a mk2 1.8 8v digifant.

stuff the 8v's just go for the Holy Grail 16v's and id be interested. though could you do them in black? im not a fan of coloured hoses. i prefer an OE look

Would be interested, what is the performance gain of silicone hoses though. And how much would they be, inc P + P.

Id be interested in the 16v ones too.

You bet, 8v and 16v

Keep me posted

yep got to be good! i might be in touch if you can do custom hoses for my next engine project

Valver Hoses FTW. 

[martinb]

i would be very interested, can you do custom ones made to reqiurements etc too? as the turbo conversion on my car was a DIY job the majority of the hoses have been sourced from other cars in scrappies and made to fit so some are not the best quality or fit, see:



blue would be nice too!

I'd be interested depending on the price - I'm a tight skint northener!!!

But defo the valver!!!

PS what advantage do they give, other than looking nice???

[BIG Matt]

Yup, I can do them in black too, a nice gloss back 

I'll do them for a 16v too but I'd need a car to take measurements etc from as I only have an 8v at my disposal.  I can also do custom hoses for practically any size, I just need dimensions.

Give me a week or so then and I'll see if I can price up an 8v set.  Once thats done I'll set about finding a 16v to measure up.  If anyone wants any custom sized hoses, just drop me a IM or email with dimensions and I'll do you a quote
